Misery
Today’s the fifth day of my fever and cough but it feels like I’m trapped in a time-zone. When will my misery be over? My gynae told me on Tuesday that I have nothing to worry about even with all

First Trimester
Three things kept bothering me during this period of pregnancy: Nausea Bloatedness Constant exhaustion So far, I didn’t vomit. Thank God! It’s just that the lurking background nauseous sensation kept me from feeling normal. Chewing on a few pieces of
Hallucinating Hunger
It hit me 6 hours after breakfast 2 days ago. Boy, it happened in the midst of marking my student’s essays and I thought the words just lifted themselves off the page! I had to stop and go ransack the kitchen for food. Yang
Saute white button mushrooms on toast
That was today’s breakfast menu. Easily done and delicious. An ex-colleague shared this recipe with me and it has only been recently that I used it again. Ingredients Fresh white button mushrooms (1 tub) thick slices of bread butter salt ground
Hainanese Pork Chops
Yang’s mother cooks great dishes. Matt can attest to that :) Recently, Yang missed Hainanese pork chops and asked me to try whipping up the dish. I bought too much pork (~450g) and hence had to remove the potato slices from the

The search goes on
I’m quite determined to look for the best laksa in Singapore. Conditions apply though: 1) The stall shouldn’t be too far away from my home, e.g. Tuas, 2) The rating is based on my preference. Hee hee :) The laksa
Ratatouille!
This is one of those rare weekends where my mind is in the care-free mode. I’ve finished marking, returning and discussing my students’ work and now they are all busy with their final preparations for the examination tomorrow. In the meanwhile,
No chi-na food for our household…
I’m sincerely serious about this. I was at NTUC (Hougang Mall) to buy fruits today and deliberately steered clear of China Fuji apples and China yellow pears. I bought Ipoh’s Tambun pomelo (this is sweeter than the Thailand varieties), Australia’s navel oranges
Switching sides
Yang has acquired some of my preferences for food after we have been married for about 22 months. *victory sign* :P That means we have more things in common and can enjoy the same things together. When we started going
